Royalty Free Strange / Bizarre Music

Sometimes it's the innocent simplicity that hides the darkest terrors. With a menacing detuned piano theme penetrating your brain over a backdrop of atmospheric vinyl crackle, string swarms and percussive metal hits, this horror trailer track has the brooding sense of witnessing something you really don't want to see. Very dark, very atmospheric, and very horror.

A short, spooky horror theme with a vintage, lo-fi feel to evoke those darkest of unwanted memories from times best forgotten. Hollow and brittle, but hypnotically repetitive, there are small subtleties to lift it - detuned instruments, dropouts, jagged string stabs and pizzicato - with a near constant deep brooding bass to rumble your bones. An edgy and mysterious, fast moving track that works great as a tension builder or scene setter.

Atmospheric soundscape. Eerie sounding, and slightly sinister in feeling, it creates an impending tension through drones, dissonant tones and high pitched sounds before breaking into a pulsing section with sub bass hits and shrill synth textures. Dangerous and full of suspense, it paints an uneasy picture of unknown worlds and lurking doom.

639 Hz - a frequency filled with love, radiance, and positive energy. It's the frequency of the heart, but don't expect James Blunt style whinings. This is a meditation soundscape designed to go much deeper, whistling straight into your inner core with haunting tones and evolving sound design. As useful for cinematic ambience as it is for spiritual energising, it's said to help you build harmonious relationships with others. Might work better than a mix tape of 80's love ballads.

An ethereal, ambient synth track with spacious, swelling pads and light background vocals

An uncomplicated yet profound piece of meditational soundscape that's equally at home as a thought-provoking, new age track as it is the background to a disturbing psychological scene, such is the potential for intrigue and tension in such a minimalist, dark electronic piece. The 285 Hz frequency targets your energy field and supposedly helps in the fast healing of burns, fractures, sprains and cuts - somewhat ironic if it ends up in the soundtrack to a psycho-gore flick.

This short, semi-comedic track describes the change of mind from bored to enthusiastic. Featuring brass, piano and contrabass.

Unsettling soundscape of distorted bass swells, clean guitar and textures. An underlying percussive rhythm section attempts to ground the piece in a lounge jazz style, but is never allowed to dominate due to the interjecting effects - some natural, some synthesized. A tense and exploratory piece with dark overtones.

Short acoustic Americana styled song. With shades of the band Beirut mixed with the vocal spirit of Chris Isaak, it's got a dreamy ambience that hypnotises you into an almost seductive world of lilting, off beat guitar and drums, interjected with whistled themes and string runs. Direct, classy and smooth.

80s influenced synthwave with a pounding industrial beat and sounds. A full time workout for the arpeggiator and a deep, pulsing buzz bass take us back in time for a retro vision of the future, with lots of textures and effects to add a cinematic touch. Grand and expansive in its production, the main theme remains the simple arpeggiated chord progression, generating ideas of sci-fi mystery and wonder in a fast developing digital world.

The 528 Hertz solfeggio frequency is also known as the frequency of health and longevity. And this is quite a long 8 minutes of haunting, penetrating, meditational soundscape. Like a swirling wind of synthesized tones seeping through your ears, it is both sonically immersive and spiritually engrossing, evolving slowly with minimal movement to give time to fully absorb the sensory effects given off.

Epic dubstep using orchestral hybrid and electro elements. A slamming beat, keyboard stabs and synth sub bass lay the foundations for the epicness to grow - more animated leads, more strings and a huge sonic wave of big brass to really cement its place as a hard hitting, cinematic track full of action, tension and cutting drama.

A moving cinematic track featuring a piano lead, spacious background chorals, and soft glockenspiel fills

Gritty atmospheric track. More soundscape than melody, it marries acoustic and synth sounds for a hybrid track reflecting tension, intrigue and dark suspense. Starting with a raw, biting cello and metronomic percussion, tension is introduced through high strings, background chorals and synth textures to create an unsettling, eerie vibe, eventually breaking into a fuller beat without letting up on the chills. Mean and moody.

Lively, fun and positive orchestral track with an uplifting melody

Creepy melodies, weird sounds and disturbing noises designed to create a send of dread. Featuring scary strings, music box and rhythmic synths to drive it on, it lies somewhere between a deranged ethnic ensemble and a contemporary, cinematic action tension builder. A little bit different, and all the better for it, whilst maintaining its roots in the cinematic horror camp.

Marimba instrumental music inspired by Thomas Newman’s soundtrack for ‘American Beauty’. Quirky, positive, fun and light.

Hollow and desperate piano instrumental, epitomising loneliness and helplessness. Slow, methodical piano meanders throughout, searching for a theme, enhanced by electro sound design elements that reinforce the sound of empty space. Not a piece that's going to brighten your day, unless you've been searching for the perfect accompaniment to your solitude and loss of hope.

Dark, atmospheric electronic track with deep bass and eerie pads - a menacing electro soundscape to invoke strange goings-on and other-wordly happenings. A strong retro synth vibe runs through it, using it's vintage tones and minimalist approach to generate an almost surreal ambience not of our time.

Slightly quirky, very animated track with a mix of corporate and cinematic vibes. Dreamlike synth pads and leads feature over a fast paced electro beat and bouncing bass line, punctuated by guitar riffs and jerky themes, but the odd melodies are what give this a sense of strangeness: simplistic retro themes with an unsettling, bizarre feel that creates a sense of curiosity while the relentless progression and movement hints at an industrial view of things.
